– UFC DRAWS HUGE NUMBERS IN TUF FINALE

MMAWeekly’s Ivan Trembow reports that despite a shaky second half of its season in the ratings, the live season finale of The Ultimate Fighter 2 came through in the ratings with a huge 2.0 overall rating (the highest-rated live UFC broadcast in history) and an even more impressive 3.7 rating in the key demographic of 18-to-34-year-old males.

Much of the damage that was done to TUF’s reputation as a ratings draw over the past several weeks will likely be erased by the huge ratings for the finale.
